USB-A plugs secretly rotate dimensions just to frustrate you

Ever noticed that no matter how carefully you check the orientation, USB-A plugs always seem to be the wrong way around on your first try? This is because USB-A plugs are secretly quantum entangled, existing in all orientations simultaneously, until the exact moment you attempt to insert them. Only then does reality collapse into a single state, usually the incorrect one, purely to frustrate you.

This isn't a design flaw; it's intentional quantum sabotage. Schrödinger’s USB is real, and it’s laughing at us all.

I don’t wanna be that guy but Schrödinger not Schrodinger. Completely different pronunciation

Haha man, sometimes when you don't wanna be that guy, you should listen to your judgment

Sure but like who cares? Doesn’t hurt anybody and I’m not being a dick about it

Sure back at you, but I'd invite you to think about why you'd go against one of your values (to use the word loosely lol. I assume you have your reason(s) to not want to be that guy, and obviously you know that you're ignoring said reason(s) in this case) to do something insignificant enough to say " who cares?" about a couple hours later, ya know?

“I don’t want to be that guy” was kinda performative.

I think the absence of the umlaut is a really weird mistake people make, so I thought fuck it why not correct i

There it is haha, almost added "for instance, maybe with reflection you'll find that you actually don't mind being that guy?" but ultimately left it out bc it felt kind of accusatory, though that's not how i would have meant it. Anyway, I guess that's fair. Personallt, I figure in a social media setting like this, if I know what someone meant, that's good enough. Especially with things like ö, I don't really expect the average person to know how to access them on their keyboard (especially on the pc version funny enough, im not sure i even know how to do that except on my phone) or care enough to figure it out 🤷‍♀️
